This candied walnut topping is super easy to make, and you may want to put it on other desserts, too. Simply heat up walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon and stir them around until caramelized and the nuts are nice and toasty. When peaches are out of season, thaw 1 cup frozen unsweetened sliced peaches and use them in this recipe instead. They’ll be delicious and juicy, and you can even skip letting them soften with the sugar for 15 minutes in step 3.
